My Morning Jacket to Appear on "American Dad!"

The band gets animated on November 22 episode

UPDATE: MMJ's publicist reports that the episode will feature six songs from the band. Also, comedian and The Hangover star Zach Galifianakis will appear as an MMJ superfan.

Fans of both celestial Southern indie and crudely animated, reference-based Seth MacFarlane comedy will have a very good day on November 22. According to the MacFarlane fan site Stewie's Playground (via TwentyFourBit), My Morning Jacket will make a guest appearance, in animated form, on the November 22 episode of MacFarlane's show "American Dad!". From all available evidence, the show will pretty much center around the band.

In the episode, titled "My Morning Straitjacket" (get it? get it?), main character Stan Smith will become an obsessed fan of the band.

Stewie's Playground has images from the episode, which looks about how you'd expect it to look. Members of the My Morning Jacket will play themselves, which is at least a step up from when they played a band called Ruckus in the god-awful Cameron Crowe flick Elizabethtown.
